How best to document this? <refsect1 role="changelog"> &reftitle.changelog; <para> <informaltable> <tgroup cols="2"> <thead> <row> <entry>&Version;</entry> <entry>&Description;</entry> </row> </thead> <tbody> <row> <entry>5.3.1</entry> <entry> Windows only : Core constants are categorized under <literal>Core</literal>, previously <literal>mhash</literal>. </entry> </row> <row> <entry>5.3.0</entry> <entry> Core constants are categorized under <literal>Core</literal>, previously <literal>internal</literal>. On Windows, the Core Constants are categorized under <literal>mhash</literal>. </entry> </row> <row> <entry>5.0.0</entry> <entry> The <parameter>categorize</parameter> parameter was added. </entry> </row> </tbody> </tgroup> </informaltable> </para> </refsect1> Is acceptable? -- ----- Richard Quadling "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
